Try deleting the 1098-T and re-entering it. How to delete forms in TurboTax
Go back through the Education section and re-enter the 1098-T. If you have an actual 1098-T with the correct US issued 9 digit EIN, answer Yes to the Did you get a 1098-T? question. If you are using anything else, answer NO to the Did you get a 1098-T? question. The next screen allows you to indicate if you have an exception to the 1098-T requirement.
Some important tips about entering this form:
- Enter your 1098-T exactly as is, even if the amounts are wrong (this is common). You'll get a chance to correct this info and enter additional expenses later on
- Leave blank boxes blank. Don't enter 0 for any blank boxes on the form, as this generates errors
- Parents: If the student listed on the 1098-T is your dependent, enter the 1098-T on your return, even if your dependent paid the tuition
- Students: If you're not being claimed as a dependent, enter the 1098-T on your return regardless of who paid the tuition, unless it was your employer. In that case, just keep the 1098-T with your tax records
- TurboTax Free Edition doesn't support Form 1098-T
